To all whom it lmay concern."

Be it known that I', JoHN C. Baooits, a citizen of the United States,residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful improvements in the Manufacture ofT extile. Fabrics, of which the following is a specification. .A

My invention relates to the manufacture of multiple textile fabrics inwhich it is desired to form several plies, to produce a good body in thefabrics, or to cut apart, to

i produce several fabrics having pile surfaces on one or both facesl Andthe object of my invention is to use such a. method, or process inthe-weaving of such fabrics', so as to vproduce them in an economicalmanner.

The method `in vogue, to weave )ile fab rics, has hitherto beenl limitedto the insertion of two separate picks, simultaneously, in two separatewarp sheds, and has been accomplished by throwing two shuttles, onetraveling `upon the lay, the other traveling upon the bottom warpthreads of the top fabric.l The use of a needle, to insert weft, beingconfined to one warp shed'formation only. ln so' called fabric blanks,the warp" sheds have been opened in succession, requir ing as manyseparate picks of weft as there are plies. In other abrics the pilebeing .formed by tufting needles, separately br nnitedly actuated.`

ln my improved method, or process, I form all warp sheds simultaneously,and simultaneously insert picksl of weft 1n each shed by using aplurality of weft needles.

therefor, acts :is stnifers for the desired principal fabric.

In the drawing, Figure' .l represents.y in an exaggerated form, a 3- ply fabric, which when ciit apart, forms two, single pile faced fabrios,and one double faced pile faliric, woven by my method. Fig'. 2,sentation, but showing the additional fea ture of using four warp sheds:ind carrying a .supply of selectable warp threads within is a similarrepro' ing of the three warp sheds for the last picks of weft shown inFig. l. Fig. 4,' illus trates the formation of the war sheds for thelast picks of weftsliown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5, is a front View of warpsheds, and weft. inserting needles, shown in Fig. A3. Fi". 6, is asimilar view' of warp sheds, and needles, shown in Fig. s.

Referring to Fig. 1, the fabric, and Fig. 3, its process of formation,(i, .5, c. d, f', and g, are binding warp threads, and are passedthrough heddle eyes, a, b', o', d,ff, and g respectively, and areraised, and lowered, to form sheds; and the pile forming, or figuring,warp threads l, 2, 3, and 4f, passl through heddleeyes, l', 2, 3 and 4',and are moved as to be lifted, half! way to be boundy with center ply,or full height to be bound in the top ply.

Referring to Fig. 2, fabric, and Fig. 4, process of its formation, thebinding warp threads a, b, c, d, f and g, pass through heddies, a', b,c, df and g, heddles, c and fl', moving double the distance of heddles0,, b', f and g', so as to allow for the inserting of separate picks ofweft above and below the pile forming, or figuring warp threads carriedin the middle ply, the said threads pass through their respectiveheddies, thus, threads 1, 2, and 3 pass through heddles l', 2', and 3',and are raised, to be bound, or show, in the upper ply; the l tlireadgy5, and G, pass through lieddles 4',

o and d, and fare lowered to be bound, or

the middle ply. Fig. 3, illustrates the form-y show, in the bottoni ply.Theweft inserting y needles, 20', are arranged one above the other, andsimultaneously inserted within their respeetive warp sheds.
